WASHINGTON (Reuters) - U.S. Justice Department officials probably will not bring civil rights charges against a white Ferguson, Missouri, police officer whose fatal shooting of an unarmed black teenager set off rioting in August, the Washington Post reported on Friday.
The newspaper, citing law enforcement officials, said investigators had all but concluded there was not a sufficiently strong case to prove officer Darren Wilson violated the rights of 18-year-old Michael Brown when he killed him in the St. Louis suburb on Aug. 9.
Theres always been an issue between the people who protect and serve us and whether or not we should trust them wholeheartedly. Especially in recent years with cases like trayvon martin v. George Zimmerman and this one. Issues like these go as far back the ratification of the constitution which later lead to the bill of rights. Rights given to the people to ensure their power and safety
